That sounds good. And the cats approve?

I made a tiny improvement in the kitchen this week; through a series of changes (most recently not using dish soap with bare hands because there is coconut in it) I'm going to be wearing vinyl or the long rubber dishwashing gloves, and they need a place to dry. I had a small rusty swing arm towel rack (three 11" vinyl-coated arms that pivot from the side of a cupboard over the sink). A new chrome one was about $8 on Amazon and delivered in one day, put up in a minute, and I now have three 12" arms to dry my gloves (and face masks using clothes pins). One of the least expensive pieces of hardware in the house but used several times a day.

To complete the deep cleaning of the hall bathroom I should finish scraping up the old glue off of the exposed concrete and put down the vinyl tiles I got for in the meantime (once the foundation is fixed I may put non-skid porcelain tiles in there. But who knows when that expensive job will happen.) I have started in the far corner and am working on straightening the edge along the tub (removing lumpy grout). I think before I put down these vinyl tiles I need to put a straight bead of silicone grout down at the tub/floor intersection to keep water from getting under the tub. No tile now because it could crack with the shifting house during the leveling process.

I started scrubbing the corner after doing some scraping, and this is the kind of job that once you get started and see the progress you're motivated to keep going. I sure hope so, anyway! Finishing by the time guests arrive is the objective.
